“I realized early on that success was tied to not giving up. Most people in this business gave up and went on to other things. If you simply didn’t give up, you would outlast the people who came in on the bus with you.”

Is it me or do these threads pop up earlier and earlier every year! Can't wait early signs are pointing to me being able to make another trip for sure!

You BETTER be there.... You have had a year to plan for this... Sheeeeshhh...

It goes without saying I'm tossing my hat in the ring. I've had the fortune to work the Cage the last 5 years basically in some regard. It honestly the only reason I go to the Arnold now.. minus seeing you guys, and catching a glimpse of the pro strongman stuff. I've made so many great connections and relationships and memories getting to work the Shop and seeing the thousands of people who come thru is inspiring and selling someone that iconic ANIMAL shirt makes a difference in their journey and I am one tiny fragment of that. It's much bigger than I think we often realize. Who people see us as and who we are as a family/company. Shit, I felt bad telling people we were out of socks and seeing them upset. I want to work the entire weekend this year. Open to close. I already have my hotel booked and export tickets purchased (saves some money fyi).. so I'm down. I don't need a shirt or a cool hat or whatever.. I want that opportunity to keep working and making the droves of our loyal legion happy and proud to rep that "A." I'm one of those people who sees it as more than a booth or a brand. But a family.. my family.

Thanks everyone. Hope to see you all soon. Also, Rodizio is booked. Boom!
